“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” ‒Nelson Mandela Hello from San Diego, California, which I believe is one of the loveliest cities on the planet. I'm a native speaker of English and a language enthusiast. Until last year, only European languages – Russian, German, Spanish, and French. Last year, I started learning Hebrew and Mandarin - but they are on hold, because I want to work on Ukrainian! Goal- b2 this year! My interests- travel, health and fitness, and history. I’ve actually written books on fitness training and on diet and cooking. Now that we have the vaccine, I can’t wait to travel again! Happy married and a Grandpa—with polyglot grandchildren!
